You can connect a printer to your Lopay account via Bluetooth to provide your customers with paper receipts.

Supported printers

We currently support the following receipt printers:

  • Star SM-L200 Portable BLE printer

  • Star SM-L300 Portable BLE printer

  • Star mC-Print3 desktop Bluetooth printer

  • Star mPop compact receipt printer

Connecting your printer

If you're using Lopay on an iOS device:

1) On your app home page select "My Devices"

2) Select "Other connections"

3) Ensure your printer is turned on, then select your printer's name when it shows in the app

4) The printer will show a green tick once connected

If you're using Lopay on an Android device:

Connect the printer via the Bluetooth settings on your phone/tablet. When asked for a pairing key, enter 1234.

Printing a receipt

Immediately after a transaction:

1) When a payment is completed, you will see a green "payment received" screen in the app.

2) At the bottom of this is the option to "Send a receipt". Select this button and choose the option to "Print".

You can also select the option to "Auto print receipts" under receipt setup on the "More" page. This will mean a paper receipt is printed automatically when a transaction completes if your printer is connected.

From the Activity screen in the app:

1) Select the "Activity" tab in your Lopay app (4th icon at the bottom)

2) Select "See all" next to "Recent transactions" and then select the transaction required.

3) Select "Send a receipt" below the transaction details and choose the option to "Print"
